Questions 131

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect at an multinational company. The company

designs, manufactures and sells products worldwide. It has grown rapidly by

acquisition and has inherited numerous different business processes and related IT

systems. This has led in many instances to a duplication of resources.

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) has made the decision to consolidate and reduce

redundant business processes and IT systems in the sales operations. She has

committed to the CEO that the business will migrate to a set of standardized solutions

that will reduce costs and improve efficiency.

The Enterprise Architecture practice at the company has been assigned to manage

the project. At present, there are no architectural assets in the Architecture Repository

related to this initiative. All assets will need to be acquired, customized, or created

from scratch. The CIO, who is the project sponsor, has identified the need for a set of

commercial off the shelf package applications as candidates for the target. She has

also stated that she is not concerned about preserving the existing business

processes or IT systems within the sales operations.

Your team leader has asked you to assist with developing a response to the following

questions:

Which groups of users will use the different applications and IT systems?

How many licenses and type of licenses are needed for the packaged applications?

What level of support is needed for the users?

Where should the support center(s) be located?

What new capabilities will be required to support this business change?

How much will the migration cost?

This project is using an iterative approach for executing the TOGAF Architecture

Development Method. The architecture development project has completed the

Architecture Vision Phase. A set of packaged applications has been identified and is

being considered, the next iteration will include development of the Business and

Application Target Architectures.

Refer the Scenario.

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

You are serving as the Lead Architect for an Enterprise Architecture project team within a multinational oil and gas corporation. It is organized into two major business groupings:

-Upstream operations which include exploration for crude oil and natural gas and operating the infrastructure necessary to deliver oil and gas to the market.

-Downstream operations which include the manufacturing, distribution and marketing activities for oil products and chemicals

Safety is a priority for the company, with the aim to ensure id causes zero harm to people and the environment. The company has to satisfy the regulatory requirements of each of the countries it operates in.

The downstream business generates a third of the company’s profits worldwide and includes more than 30,000 petrol stations and various oil refineries. In some countries it also includes oil refining, a retail station network, lubricants manufacture and marketing, industrial fuel and lubricants sales. The practice for the downstream business has been to operate locally managed by local “operating companies”.

The Governing Board is concerned about the risk posed by operating in this complex global environment with a large part of the downstream business represented by local operating companies. As a result, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (CEO) to be responsible for overseeing and managing compliance issues for the corporation. The CCO reports directly to the CEO.

The CCO has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program, and has mandated the use of the TOGAF standard as the framework. He has requested to be informed about the status of downstream operations that could impact regulatory compliance. He also wants the corporate legal staff and auditors to analyze all proposed new downstream operations to ensure that they are within the legal guidelines for each country. In addition, the local operating companies should be able to see that the architecture is appropriate for their needs.

The architecture project team has worked within the sponsor to complete a detailed Request for Architecture Work providing the high level project description. As the project commences the next phase, the necessary approvals from corporate and line management have been …..

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to recommend an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of the Chief Compliance Officer, legal staff, auditors and the local operating companies.

Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Options:
A.

You recommend that a set of models be created for each project architecture that can be used to ensure that the system will be compliant with the local regulations. A formal review should be held with the stakeholders to verify that their concerns have been properly addressed by the models.

B.

You recommend that an analysis of the stakeholders is undertaken, including development of a Stakeholder Map. This will allow the architectures to define groups of stakeholders who have common concerns. The concerns and relevant viewpoints should be defined for each group of stakeholders, and recorded in the Architecture Vision document.

C.

You recommend that the ArchiMate modeling language is used to create a set of models that can be applied uniformly across all architecture projects. Each architecture should then be defined based on this fixed set of models. All concerned parties can then examine the models to ensure that their needs have been addressed.

D.

You recommend that a Communications Plan be created to address the powerful and influential stakeholders. This plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecture with respect to each location and reflect the stakeholders’ requirements. You will check with each stakeholder that their concerns are being addressed.

You have been assigned the role of Lead Enterprise Architect within a leading

professional services company that specializes in providing outsourcing services.

Outsourcing services include business processes, infrastructure, and service

management. The company also provides business consulting services.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF

standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer.

An Architecture Board has been formed comprised of IT staff executives and executives

from the major service areas and consulting practice.

With numerous service areas and many diverse engagements in progress at any given

time, overall engagement management within the company has become challenging.

The company has recently had a number of high profile projects that have overrun on

budget and under delivered, thereby damaging its reputation.

The Enterprise Architecture (EA) team has been working with the Strategic Planning

team to create a strategic Enterprise Architecture to address these issues. The EA team

has held workshops with key stakeholders to define a set of architecture principles to

govern the architecture work. They have completed an Architecture Vision at a strategic

level and laid out high-level Architecture Definitions for the four domains. They have set

out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a five-year period. This will

include three distinct transformations.

The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and

Migration plan, the EA team will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed

architecture. He has received concerns from some of the senior management across the

company that the proposed architecture may be too ambitious and they are not sure it

can produce sufficient value to warrant the risks.

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to recommend an approach to satisfy these concerns.

Based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best

answer?

Options:
A.

The EA team should bring together information about potential solutions from

the appropriate sources within the enterprise, such as the Architecture

Repository. Once the target architecture has been assembled, it should be

analyzed using a state evolution table to determine the Transition Architectures

and associated risks. A value realization process should then be established to

ensure that the concerns raise

B.

The EA team should evaluate the organization ' s readiness to undergo change.

This will allow the risks associated with the transformations to be identified and

mitigated for. It will also identify improvement actions to be worked into the

Implementation and Migration Plan. The Business Value Assessment

technique should then be used to determine the business value and associated

risks for the transformation.

C.

The EA team should apply an interoperability analysis to evaluate any potential

issues across the architecture. This should include the development of a matrix

showing the interoperability requirements. The EA team would then reconcile

the interoperability requirements with potential solutions and risks. Once all the

concerns have been resolved, the EA team should finalize the Architecture

Roadmap and the Imple

D.

The EA team should review and consolidate the gap analysis results from

Phases B to D. This should be completed before preparing the detailed

Implementation and Migration plan. The gap analysis results can be used to

understand the transformations that are required to achieve the proposed

Target Architecture. The EA team should then assess the readiness of the

organization to undergo change. Once the architectu

You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect for a life insurance, annuities, and

pensions company, which has been formed through the merger of three companies.

The company consists of three divisions with the same names and division

headquarters as their predecessors.

The lack of integration between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems

in the handling of customer and financial information. At present, each division

maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common

application to manage customer, products, and claims information, each division has

different ways of defining its data elements and has customized the common

application to the point where the ability to exchange information is error-prone.

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has formed an Enterprise Architecture

department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to coordinate efforts

between the teams in each division. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional

Architecture Board to oversee and perform governance. The TOGAF standard is used

as the basis for the core framework of the Enterprise Architecture program. The

company has an existing team of security architects.

The company has made the decision to introduce a common web portal, contact

center software suite, and document management system. Also the company has

selected a single enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM)

application to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the

divisions. The application will be used by each of the divisions and accessed by third

party partners through well-defined interfaces.

The CIO is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and

safeguard customer information in a secure manner that meets or exceeds the legal

requirements of the countries in which the company operates. This will be an

increasingly important capability as the company expands its online services in

cooperation with its external partners.

Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a multinational company. The

company is organized into independent operational divisions on a national basis. The

company adapts its marketing messaging to fit each culture group, with the adaptation

of product offerings and manufacturing processes in each market.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the

TOGAF standard as the basis of its architecture framework. In addition to the EA

program, the company has several management frameworks in use, including

business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management. The

EA program is sponsored by the CIO.

A strategic architecture has been approved that includes consolidation of multiple

applications that have been operating in the production facilities across the divisions.

The goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new

application running as a single instance in the company ' s primary data center.

Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to

integrate the new application to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.

The key corporate change attributes and implementation constraints have been

confirmed. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the

gaps across the Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Using the gap

analysis results, a review of the consolidated requirements, dependencies, and

interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new application has been

completed. The Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A

has been completed. A risk assessment has been completed.

The implementation process is estimated to take four years. Because of the risks

posed by the complexity of the current environment, a phased approach is needed to

implement the target architectures. The Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1, the

draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables are now

complete.
